Those renders look fantastic. Really, really good.

I managed to turn off my ownship symbol on the TAD this evening. Anyone know what I did?

Get out of here with your facts and and experience, please.

I don't really care for walking about, but at least being able to look at the 3D models all lined up would be really awesome. The ones you haven't purchased could be there too, with the ceiling lights above them turned off. That would probably tempt some people (me!) into getting more stuff than otherwise.

Awesome that they changed it so quickly. Seriously impressed by LNS as devs. We, as a community, let them know what we thought about something, and a significant change is made in the first real post-release patch, like a week later. Thanks, really.

I think I have an old installation of the standalone A-10C on one of my drives. :D I used to compare stuff when DCS World was still in its cradle. It wasn't trivial which version was better back in those days. We've come a long way.

And there was much rejoicing.

Can you say "conjecture"?

To be honest, anecdotes are not really useful.

CP is cockpit. :) The lods and external stuff is in CoreMods/aircraft/Mig-21BIS/Shapes.

Good find!

^ Yep, exactly. The bug here is that your head is able to stick through the canopy. I'm sure someone will tell you exactly where to tweak the movement limits in the cockpit, I can't check right now.

For what it's worth, it seems more likely to me that it's your BIOS or motherboard that couldn't run the card correctly.

That's not true world-wide. It's probably this week, though.

^ Outstanding.

Helsingborg is within driving distance. Does anyone know a good place to get pitchforks sharpened?

Right, I (obviously) meant turbulence from engine exhausts.

Flagrum, you seem to have an issue (and that's fine, I'm not insulting you) with the exhaust molecules rebounding or not off the chute. Let's say they stay very close to the chute: after a while, you'll have a region of high pressure, and a pressure gradient. Then, even if the chute is "sticky" like you think, you will have to have a flow of fluid out of the chute. I don't know very much about materials science (a few courses in solid state physics, but I'm a high-energy theorist), but I'm sure the gas molecules will not stick just because the chute is fabric/soft/bendy/whatever. That's a special scenario, which requires special circumstances. The general case is that the gas molecule will rebound in some direction with some fraction of its kinetic energy. I see no reason why that should be 0, and the fan-into-sail experiment (done by laymen, sure) seems to support that. Also, more on topic, I have no idea if this is modelled in DCS or if this behaviour actually is unintended (I suspect the latter since turbulence isn't modelled); all I'm saying is that it isn't as unphysical as the first few posters in this thread thought.

A obviously moves. In B, pressure builds up inside the tube until the fan can't compress the air anymore, after which nothing happens. But this has no bearing on the scenarios we're discussing. In both the fan-in-sail scenario and the chute (basically the same thing), air can escape. A region of high pressure builds in the chute/sail, and air is displaced out of it.

Just ignore him.

On what basis do you say this? And why does blowing into your own sail work if this paragraph is true?

Thank you, too. I found the dash-1 but it had no charts of this. It did have this: http://aviationshoppe.com/manuals/f-86_flight_manual/f-86.html Sect VI, p. 7 Nothing substantive, but it feels like they'd mention if the plane was extraordinarily insensitive to rudder turns.

Could you please go to the WoT forum instead?

That's quite possible too, I guess. The only real way of knowing is to do an experiment. All I'm really talking about is an idealized scenario (which is what a simulator needs to do as well). It's interesting to note you can easily make a boat-mounted fan blowing into a sail propel the boat (I think mythbusters did this once, but I haven't seen it). I guess we want to know what happens if you replace the fan with a jet engine. Intuitively, I'd guess "the same thing".

The best thing about this thread is that 220 people actually voted for the F-35.
